IYABO OJO

The rumour has been in the air in the last 3 months or so.Within the Yoruba movie sector the gist has been that 2 leading Yoruba actresses,Fathia Balogun and Iyabo Ojo had stopped talking to each other and that they were in a cold war over sundry issues,like,”call me Aunty,I won’t call you Aunty”

There are those who have alleged that Faithia stopped talking to Iyabo,when Iyabo began to do her movies with Corporate Pictures company,owned by Alhaji Rasaq Abdullahi,which had for years sponsored all of Faithia’s works.

The story is that Iyabo’s decision to work with Corporate Pictures got Faithia angry and she decided to pull out of her age long relationship with Corporate Pictures.

But since last year when their “fight” began,both of them had refused to talk about it,so also Iyabo Ojo,despite intense pressure from their friends and the media.

In a recent interview,Iyabo Ojo finally spoke about it.

There is no quarrel between us.I don’t have a problem with her.I am not quarrelling with her.We’ve met at locations a few times.A few weeks back,we still met at a location and we both acted our individual roles in the movie,though we didn’t talk to each other.

I guess we would resolve whatever it is that is a problem.

You know,we women are like that.Today you will see some women fighting,tomorrow they are back as friends.I don’t think there are real isues,nothing concrete.

Faithia is older than me,and I respect her,we all give her,her dues.

we africans with this our aunty this uncle that. no one has to call u aunty unless u are their mother or father's sister. they may decide to call u aunty if u are not but it has to be a personal decision u no fit force person fo respect u oh.

Is that what this fuss is all about? "call me aunty, no I won't u call u aunty"? This is not substantial enough 2 trigger any misunderstanding between u both. As far as am concern this matter lacks substance well except there's something else brewing underneath. But I'll advise u stop this headless recrimination & forge ahead. Make amends asap. I rest my case!

nigeria menterlity.................. at my age now if someone call me brother or sister when he or she i not related 2 me i wont answer is better u call me by my name or by my kids names bcos those who call u sister 2day will b d 1st 2 pour u insult if u mistakely offend dem. so tell me why d sister,brother,uncle.anty all about wen u are not my relative? i love people calling me by my name(CHICKITO)Cos i gal a sweet name lolllllllllllllll.

You better settle this now na for yoruba this kind of things happen most I dnt need any one to call me bro just call my name murphy or you can call it fully. Murphy money and I will answer you even give you cash join self

Fathia abi watin be ur name.. if u stay ile oko,dem go respect you but since you chose not to be with ur hubby no more and want to be giving it out cheaply to every 1,then disrespect is what you get from it and you shouldn't be angry for that ok..
